Building your own DIY hunting cooler in the USA?

If you already have an insulated shed, garage, hunting cabin, barn, ranch building, or DIY cold room, you may not need to purchase a complete walk-in cooler.

You can build the insulated room locally and install a self-contained monoblock refrigeration unit to turn it into a walk-in hunting cooler or freezer.

You build the room — Freezing Valley supplies the refrigeration unit.

Refrigeration Units for DIY Deer & Game Coolers

Our monoblock refrigeration systems can be used for cold rooms designed to store:

• Deer

• Elk

• Moose

• Wild boar

• Wild game

• Beef and other meat

They can be suitable for individual hunters, hunting cabins, ranches, farms, hunting lodges, outfitters, butcher rooms, and game-processing facilities.

What Temperature Should a Hunting Cooler Be?

For chilling and hanging deer and other game, a typical cold-room operating range may be around:

34°F–38°F (1°C–3°C)

Game should be kept at 40°F (4.4°C) or below for refrigerated storage.

If you want to use the room as a hunting freezer for frozen meat storage, a typical target is:

0°F (-18°C) or below

For some applications, we can also supply low-temperature refrigeration systems designed for approximately:

-4°F to -13°F (-20°C to -25°C)

The refrigeration unit must be selected according to the lowest required temperature, room size, insulation, ambient temperature, and product load.

Why Use a Monoblock Refrigeration Unit?

A monoblock is a self-contained cold-room refrigeration system.

The compressor, condenser, evaporator, fans, controller, and other main refrigeration components are integrated into one system.

This can provide several advantages for a DIY hunting cooler:

• Compact, self-contained design

• Pre-assembled refrigeration system

• Less refrigerant piping required on site

• Easier installation compared with many traditional split systems

• Digital temperature control

• Cooler and freezer models available

• Different capacities available

• 60 Hz models available for the USA

1 HP, 2 HP, 3 HP & Larger Hunting Cooler Units

Freezing Valley can supply different refrigeration capacities, including:

1 HP | 2 HP | 3 HP | 4 HP | 5 HP and larger

The correct HP depends on your project.

For example, a 6 ft × 8 ft × 7 ft hunting cooler operating at approximately 35°F (1.7°C) has very different refrigeration requirements from the same room operating as a freezer at 0°F (-18°C).

For this reason, we recommend checking the complete application before selecting the unit.

Already Built Your Hunting Cooler?

If you have already built the insulated room, that's fine.

You don't need to purchase another complete cold room from us.

Simply send us your room information, and we can help select the refrigeration unit only.

This can work well if you have:

• An insulated hunting shed

• A hunting cabin

• A garage cold room

• A farm or ranch building

• An existing walk-in cooler

• A DIY insulated panel room

• A game-processing room

Hunting Cooler or Hunting Freezer?

Before ordering, decide how you want to use the room.

Hunting Cooler

For chilling and holding fresh game:

Approximately 34°F–38°F (1°C–3°C)

Hunting Freezer

For frozen game-meat storage:

Approximately 0°F (-18°C) or below

If you want the room to operate as both a cooler and freezer, tell us before ordering. We can check whether a suitable low-temperature monoblock system is available for your room size and operating conditions.
